What I Loved: This book cracked me up from the moment I saw it. I had so much fun putting the book up to my face to pretend to be a barnyard animal. My Middle-Grade kids acted a bit like I had lost my mind but my Pre-K students will...
What I Liked: This second installment of the Kingdom of the Wicked Trilogy was intense and sinfully delightful. The story begins right after Emilia sold her soul and agrees to go with Prince Wrath to Hell to be the devil’s bride. At every turn, Prince Wrath protects her and guides...
What I Liked: Brandon Sanderson’s ability to integrate the silly into a story enhances this series and makes it all the more appealing for Middle-Grade readers each time. My family enjoyed the chapter names this go around. It went from chapter 2 to chapter 6 with a...
What I Liked: Ben Oliver delivers a super intense third and final look into the future with this dystopian thriller in the last book, THE ARC. There is a bookish meme about how you would love to live in a book. Well, this is not the book the meme was...
What I Liked: This second part of the duology was so suspenseful! This is one that will captivate you and keep you turning pages until you know if everyone will survive the end of the curse. With alliances and reasons changing, it is hard to predict which side the characters...
What I Liked: This book explored the deep sense of betrayal and confusion that Abriella experiences after dying to give Sebastian the crown and waking up Fae. She has much to learn in her new body and with her powers more intense than when she was human. ...
What Worked: This book had Hunger Games vibes while creating a new world. This was a unique take on the ‘chosen one’ theme. Monroe Benson was born goddess-touched, marking her as one of ten girls that will compete to the death for the hand of Prince Cohen when he is...
What I Liked: I enjoy the ongoing commentary at the beginning of the last two books speaking out on the kind of people that would start a series in the middle and for those that read the last page at the beginning. It has been funny to see the fake...
What I Liked: There are two different components to the Alcatraz Vs. The Evil Librarian series that make the book so delightful: first is the adventure story taking place and second is the commentary that Brandon Sanderson gives from a writer’s perspective in the guise of the narrator, Alcatraz. ...
What I Liked: This is my first time reading anything by Robin Roe and wow is she very talented with the phycological drama. First off, plan a chunk of time and start early on this book. Don’t be like me, who started this 502-page book early evening and then finished...
What I Liked: Rosaria Munda delivers an intensely engaging third and final book to the Fireborne trilogy. This world is so richly detailed and the characters well developed that it is hard not to be sucked into this fantasy world and worry about these characters’ plight as you would dear...
What I Loved: This book is such a great book for Middle-Grade readers. Once again, we are loosely in Medieval times this time with more fantastical events and even less historical accuracy. Not that this is a problem. This book has so many subtle jokes that an older child will...
What I Liked: Our favorite reluctant super sleuth is back with several more situations that only he can crack. Gibbs highlights the plight of animals that are involved in the illegal exotic animal trade as well in this book. It all begins with Summer and Teddy’s friend Sage...
What I Loved: It was wonderful to return to the world Jennifer Lynn Barnes paints of Avery Kylie Grambs and the Hawthorne family in the mysterious Hawthorne estate. Avery is just weeks from living a year in Hawthorne House and gaining full access to the astronomical amount of money left...
What I Loved: This book was one of my most highly anticipated books of the year. It absolutely delivered in being the type of book sure to make me unable to stop until late in the night and wait desperately to get home from work to finish it. This is...
